Characterization and Time-Lapse Monitoring Utilizing Pulsed-Neutron Well Logging At An Incidental CO2 Storage Demonstration
The Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership is working with Denbury Resources Inc. (Denbury) and Schlumberger Carbon Services to carry out a time-lapse pulsed-neutron well logging (PNL) campaign as part of the site characterization and monitoring activities at the Bell Creek oil field. This is being carried out to study incidental carbon dioxide (CO2) storage associated with large-scale injection of CO2;for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and to develop the tools, techniques, and approaches for long-term monitoring of geologic CO2;incidental storage (Gorecki and others, 2012).The planned injection of approximately 50 million cubic feet per day (MMscf/day) of CO2;began in May of 2013 as part of Denbury's CO2;EOR project at the Bell Creek oil field. Discovered in 1967, the Bell Creek oil field in southeastern Montana has produced over 130 million barrels (MMbbl) of oilView/Download Document
